"A heritage property with charm. Lovely gardens, infinity pool and common areas. Staff are friendly and do all to help. The location is elevated and a quick tuk into town or walk. As travelling solo I booked a double room and not on the larger. Whilst they are clean and comfortable with all you need I would suggest book a larger room if you can as there was no natural light in the rooms as there were shutters that were covered. It was ok as I sat in common areas to read etc. Just a heads up....
